Thanks , I know you can have 1 working semi on each farm.. I just read it as you had 4 semis on the one farm (as in 4 semis on farm 1)

Apparently there is some major confusion as to how things are supposed to work once you have fertilized your crops. At the request of one our fellow farmers I am going to post my understanding of how this works. Moderators please let me know if there any flaws in my explanation so that I can avoid people calling me stupid and telling me to shut up.


THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. THIS IS BY NO MEANS THE OFFICIAL INFORMATION ON HOW THE FERTILIZATION PROCESS WORKS! IF IT IS INCORRECT I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM TELLING ME HOW STUPID I AM IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS UNDERSTANDING.

OK, my understanding of how this works is that you get double the crops if your field is fertilized. If you hire someone else to harvest for you the get double crops and the person working for you gets double the amount of crops that they would normally get and double the amount of coins. The only increase in price the farmer gets is the normal increase for hiring someone else to harvest. For example, instead of getting the standard 90 coins you could sell artichokes for if you harvest it you get 108 for the large harvest. I hope this helps you understand the new changes.

AGAIN, MODERATORS IF THIS INCORRECT PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO THAT I CAN CHANGE OR REMOVE THE INFORMATION.

Your instructions work perfectly Many thanks, I was reading through looking for just exactly that.

As I understand it we only need one manure spreader and to fertilize other farms that we have we are suppose to transport it via storage so that we can fertilize other farms we have. If we were to have more than one spreader with a pig sty at each farm would that give us more manure? If we have five farms how much manure would we need for that many farms? How many pigs can we have in each pig sty? Would one pig sty be enough for five farms?

It takes 50 units of fertilizer to fertilize each farm. Buying multiple spreaders is not necessary since you can either put it in storage and move it from farm to farm without losing your manure or you can use the "clone" method that is referred to a few pages back in this discussion. One pigsty holds 100 pigs and can be harvested every 12 hours. When you bought the spreader it came with 250 manure in it (enough to do all 5 farms for the first time). If you have one pig sty filled to capacity and harvest it every 12 hours you should be pretty well set to have enough fertilizer to keep your farms fertilized.

I personally have 3 pigsty's full to capacity (mostly cause I think the sty's are cute and so are the little piggies!)

Hope this helps clear up your question.

That sounds like a neat idea! I would love to have room to play around with some of the decorations, non-harvestable trees, and some of the very pretty flowers that can't be used in the flower shop.

As of right now there are only 115 levels. There are other ways to get fam cash, such as buying it or doing some of the free offers that are available to earn farm cash. To get to the offers just click on the tab at the top of the game that says "earn cash and coins." If you scroll down the page a little you will see that you can sort the offers out so that you can just view the free offers, just the surveys...ect. Buying FC is the fastest way to go but if you are on a limited budget the offers work out pretty good. Some of them can take a it of time to do but end the end it is well worth the time it takes to do them.

I like it the way it's always been. Wasn't aware of a change since i haven't worked anyone else's farms. Hope it if's changed for our own farms, that it's an option and we can harvest and plow in the "traditional" way.

Sounds complicated. I may opt to not get the spreader -- plus, really don't have room to add pigs to any of my farms at this time. But it does sound like a great addition to the game regardless.

I just save up some of my loose change and if I don't have a real life need for it, then I can deposit it and apply it toward FT. I bought $20 real $$ worth of FT Cash in June and will possibly do so again in Sept. or Oct. Meanwhile, I'm content to let my "someday" wish list grow. So much to do in the game in the mean time. The offers? Nope, not bothering with those.
